Fulfillment of a Prophecy.
Pail Mall Gazette.

1T is interesting to notice that Sc
quel to the poet laureate's "Eoclssley
HALF was foretold more than twenty
years ago by an enthusiastic student Of
the Tennysonian philosophy. The fol-
lowing passage from A. I'll. Japp's ''Three
Great Teachers of Our Own Age" pub
llshed 5n 1865, refers to the disappointed
hero OF the earliest 'Locksley Hall'': "Up-
on his seathed heart dawns the glory of a
great moral truth that, though the iadi-
Vidual withers under Limitation and
wrong the world still progresses.
The poet has here carried the poem
to the ssrict limit Of his experience at the
time Ts was written. 1t closes but does,
not cease. It abounds with suggestions
as to higher result in pros pect 1t
points to region of lofty possibility.
If the poet ever again wrote on kin
bred theme it would test at once his in
sight and fuller experience whether he
would conduct his hero to more worthy
goal.' The recent publication of Clock
sley Hall; Sixty Years After" has thus
afforded a striking instance Of the full
hllmeDs of a 1literary prophecy !; but we
are inclined TO doubt if the poets entry
INTO this region of lofty possibility
can have given much satisfaction to his,
admirers of twenty years ago, or if they
WOULD still venture to class him among
the "great teachers of our age.'''

Bpffale's Highest-P Priced Lawyer.
Buffalo Express.

"Three hundred lawyers in Buffalo,"
said ONE of them. "How do you suppose
they all make living? And out of the
whole lot there is probably not more than
twenty really gifted lawyers "They all
make good living was the half CUES
ton, half answer of a listener. "Well, 10,
hardly. There are many who have a
pretty hard struggle of it; some never do
anything but struggle. Who's the high
est-priced lawyer in town? Well, heard
the other day of one who charged $1,000
for recovering $2,1O0. L guess he's the
man you are looking for.''

The Big Thief and the Little One.
Norriston Herald.

Oscar Baldwin, who four years ago was
sentenced to fifteen years in the state
prison for embezzling $250,O0O of the
funds of the Mechanics National Bank,
of Newark, n. j., has been released on
the ground that the imprisonment for
more than five years was illegal man
in New York was recently sent to jail for
ten years for stealing $3.50. II II should
be decided that more than five years Of
his sentence is not illegal he will spend
the remainder of his life in regretting
that he didn't embezzle S250,000.
